I have set my backup destination to a separate drive in the machine, but
not at the default location.
When the backup runs, it fails stating permission denied, as the
destination drive is not mounted.
When I enter the proper destination in the backup at the "storage
location", the drive then mounts and is present on the desktop. Then the
backup will run successfully.
I then "unmount" the drive using the menu on the drive icon, and the
mounted drive disappears from the desktop. I don't need a bunch of
drives listed or shown on my desktop, as it detracts from the beauty of
the screen.
If I mount the drive before running the backup, it will succeed.
My point with this is that I am not going to mount the drive every time
I run backup, and when mounted, I don't need it listed or shown on my
desktop.
In unity, the drives appeared in the launcher or dock, and there was an
option to "remove from launcher", which still left the drive mounted,
but off the desktop and launcher. This was a nice way to fix this
problem.
